The corruption of Barack Obama

Too bad so few Americans know about the list featured in bullet points below highlighting the corruption of Barack Obama. Here is J.B. Shurk:

The national media are flabbergasted that Americans won’t consent to President Trump’s removal from office. How can so many of his compatriots be indicted and so many government bureaucrats condemn his behavior without giving them what they desire: self-assurance that they are “on the right side of history”?

If they ever wish to understand, the critical starting point in their education is not the current presidency, but the last one. Although there are numerous ways to describe the present divide in America, one of the simpler is thus: those Americans who take Barack Obama at his word that his presidency was historically “scandal free” and those Americans who see the unrelenting stream of Deep State attempts to take down President Trump as a continuing coup and the natural extension of an unethical, criminal, and at times unconstitutional Obama presidency.

For those of us in the latter camp, Barack Obama presided over a corrupt administration and used his historic election as the first non-white American president as a get-out-of-jail-free card to abuse his power while silencing his critics.

Whataboutery is frowned upon now that President Trump is in office, but if President Trump had done a tiny percentage of what Obama orchestrated, he actually would be in federal prison. Imagine what would have happened if President Trump had done the following:

used a recession to bilk a trillion dollars from the public to stuff the pockets of campaign donors like Solyndra

facilitated Agent Brian Terry’s murder by arming the Mexican cartels

targeted American citizens for assassination without a whiff of due process

lied to voters that their doctors would be protected and premiums reduced, while illegally funding Obamacare and covering illegal aliens’ health care

Quotes

“If by the liberty of the press were understood merely the liberty of discussing the propriety of public measures and political opinions, let us have as much of it as you please: But if it means the liberty of affronting, calumniating and defaming one another, I, for my part, own myself willing to part with my share of it.” —Benjamin Franklin (1789)
